A nice presentation, however will agree that it starts off like Elsa's run through the Cathedral. As a previous band director who has worked with this score it is a bit too fast. If you listen to the oboe and clarinet solo you can see the speed is incorrect. Nevertheless it does slow toward the end and all the participants performed in an excellent manner.

I think they did a nice job. Lots of mistakes to be sure, but not bad for college kids. Some of you guys must be fun at parties...

原曲では祝祭と裏切りが背中合わせになっていますね。この編集で­はその祝祭の部分をクローズアップして実に爽やかなイメージがあ­ります。色々なことがあったからこそ厳粛に迎えられる婚礼の祭典­、今はそれを楽しみましょうという空気が強く感じられます。

The rushed tempo is only that they so they can fit the singers in also. In my band, we play this song way slower only because there is no singing. Also when they play it this fast you cant enjoy the grace notes =/. But the singing does make a beautiful angelican effect

@1mouseman not so bad.

in what language they are singing?

I suspect that the rather hurried tempo has to do with the fact that these are not professionals but amateurs, and I have often noticed that it is better to start just a little faster with amateurs, as things will eventually slow down. However, I have to admit that it does seem more like Elsa's Race to the Cathedral, at least at first, and it is sad to hear the music so rushed at first. Anyway, maybe the conductor started a little faster because of adrenalin in his system...
